bane of my existence

[matildasun]

Let's be melodramatic for a bit.

Currently, things with wheels are the bane of my existence. There are three, 3!, scooters, and a stroller in my living room.

I need a better storage method.

What is currently the bane of your existence?

[hilwithonelary]

Puzzle pieces. I hate puzzle pieces. They're everywhere.

kitchen playfood. We have 3463634643 pieces. And DD loves it all.
It keeps her occupied for hours and is definitely a fave toy but it's freakin' everywhere.

The endless cycle of cleaning and assembling pump parts and bottles.

Dog fur. My Aussie's undercoat sheds in clumps, and collects into tumbleweeds. You vacuum, and 20 minutes later, you find more clumps.

Someone (cough..my mother) bought DS1 that "Don't Spill the Beans" game. If I find one more plastic bean randomly around my house, I am going to trash the whole thing.

Legos

Laundry. My H generates 3x as much laundry as anyone else in this house. (DD could probably give him a run for his money, but hers is tiny and fits into one load.)

And before you say, "make him do it," poor guy is already gone by 5 or 6 a.m. every day and going to school year-round in addition to working more than full time. I work part time enough that it would be a dick move to be like hey, wash your own jeans! Unfortunately.

Small M&D wooden blocks. I will kill myself trying to avoid stepping on them!

Oh yeah, this one too!

@fivedogs, good to know you have been happy with that system. We are considering it, but space us tight. If my husband had his way he would hang them all in the dining room. I am hoping to figure out a way to put them on the existing bike wall, in the laundry room.

Parts. Anything with parts. Cuttable fruit, sorter pieces, wood blocks, squeaker eggs. I spend my life gathering things into like piles.

Finger nails! (the baby's, not mine)

I have to keep B's car that he sits in and we push him around the block in our living room which is fine. But every time he sees it he goes and sits in it and whines until I push him around the living room. I have purchased SO many other things that he can push or sit on and all he wants is the one thing he can't manipulate himself.

Exactly this, down to the Aussie.

Magnets. Letters, numbers, animals. They are in the playroom, on my dishwasher, on my refrigerator, and scattered on the floor. Come on man.

yes! They grow so fast and both of them claw me while nursing!! I hate it.

[jenn248]

Elmo. DD is obsessed, and he is so f-ing annoying. At least the shows are educational, right?

[redpenmama]

The kitchen floor. I cannot keep it clean. Ever. DS throws food all over it for every meal. I sweep multiple times a day and would mop daily if I had the time. And it's still a mess.

[ssmjlm]

Crayons, we want to get the paper out, dump out all the crayons, color for a few mins, then we tear the paper, get upset, rinse repeat.

[6fsn]

Yogurt. The kids love it, but boy the 21 month old makes a mess with it. I think I've got it wiped up, then it just comes right back.

[laurenh]

Clutter in general, from all 3 of us. We need to be better adults and actually put things away, even if it means stopping and brining something down to the basement otherwise our house goes from presentable (w/toddler) to awful in 24 hours.

[turtlegirl]

Nothing specific, just the general unpacking and organizing of my house. It seems like the boxes are never ending.

[Deleted]

Having two full bathrooms to clean, while PG. They're done now, but I'm sore from leaning over so much. The farmhouse only had 1 bathroom with a shower stall (no tub), so cleaning both bathrooms took a lot longer than I thought.

[glitzy07]

Flameful, but all of our pets right now. They are the reason why we can't have nice things.

[t]

Keeping the house clean. I just can't keep up. Asking for a cleaning service for Christmas.

Crayons. DD likes to rip the paper off and scrape them into her nails

Feeding my child. It is such a chore to get her to eat sometimes.

[mannah]

My hair--it's all over the place and falling out constantly.

Adding to this, mommy & me music classes.

You would think that a lady who teaches music to toddlers would realize they are toddlers. Nope. Miss Patty has a pretty short fuse for toddler attention spans. I would love it if she sat still and clapped and tapped the ground too, Miss Patty. Not.gonna.happen.

Clothes. You'd think I was torturing her for every outfit change.

This has come back with a vengance for us. Ugh.
